Annual Giving

The Annual Fund supports every aspect of the Museum — from regular maintenance and day-to-day operations to feeding our friends in the Live Animal Care Center; to allowing our educators to create new interactive exhibits and develop live presentations. Every dollar you generously give to the Annual Fund goes directly into furthering STEM education and delivering an amazing experience to visitors of all ages.

Your gift to the Annual Fund goes to work immediately and is essential to the Museum’s efforts to inspire the dreamers and thinkers of tomorrow.

Double Your Gift…Double Your Impact!

Many companies offer matching gifts for charitable donations made by their employees, which could double or triple your contribution to the Museum — some companies' matching gifts program extend to retired employees and board members.
